When using the devices, the following safety issues of UV lamps must be taken into account:

1. When using UV curing lamps, a special UV ballast or transformer must be equipped.

2. UV tubes may cause damage to skin and eyes, so direct exposure should be avoided.

  5. Do not use the UV lamp near children or animals, as they may accidentally touch the lamp and get skin burns or eye damage. It is recommended to keep the UV lamp out of reach of children and animals.
  6. Do not use the UV lamp in a room with low light levels as this may cause temporary blindness. It is recommended to use the UV lamp in a room with sufficient light.
  7. Do not use the UV lamp for more than 30 minutes at a time, as prolonged exposure may cause damage to the skin and eyes. It is recommended to follow a work and rest schedule.
  8. Check the UV lamp for damage or defects before use, as a damaged lamp may pose a health hazard. It is recommended to replace the lamp if it is damaged or does not work properly.
